How Do You Make Magic Mushroom Tea?
One of the easiest and most delicious ways to consume magic mushrooms is making tea from them. Mushroom tea is delicious and gentle on stomach, absorbing more quickly than eating raw mushrooms.
The type of mushroom used in your tea can influence both how quickly and intensely you experience its effects, as well as provide an opportunity to explore other psychoactive varieties offering adaptogens or medicinal benefits. Additionally, tea can provide an easy way of getting acquainted with psychoactive mushrooms which offer adaptogenic or medicinal advantages.
Steep the Mushrooms
Mushroom tea is a beverage created by steeping whole or powdered mushrooms in hot water for several minutes to extract their active constituents, ranging from chaga, reishi and even psilocybin mushrooms with their psychoactive effects. Mushroom tea can be consumed to support immunity systems as well as reduce stress and enhance cognition, with many different varieties used as ingredients in different kinds of mushroom tea blends available today.
Mushrooms are packed with antioxidants and other bioactive compounds that provide various therapeutic benefits, having long been revered as powerful medicine. Modern science is only recently discovering their many healing potential. Reishi and turkey tail mushrooms have long been revered for their anti-ageing and immune boosting qualities while cordyceps has an impressive list of health benefits including cancer prevention and heart disease treatment.
Making magic mushroom tea at home can be an easy and delicious addition to your morning routine. Unlike edible mushrooms which require cooking before being consumed, mushroom tea only needs hot water to steep, making it the ideal way to customize according to mood or taste buds.
One of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to make mushroom tea is with a loose-leaf mushroom and tea blend, such as one available on Amazon or at your local market. These come in various flavors such as traditional black and green teas as well as fruitier options like peach, mango, strawberry or tropical coconut; other blends may even include ginger, turmeric cardamom or cinnamon for additional spice!
Before creating your mushroom tea, it is necessary to prepare the mushrooms by grinding them into a fine powder. This will allow for easier infusing of psilocybin into your drink. Furthermore, make sure the water you use is hot but not boiling; otherwise this could damage the mushrooms and decrease their potency.
Once the mushrooms and tea have been mixed together, pour into a French press or strainer of your choice for approximately an hour of steeping time before removing from the strainer and adding sweetener as desired.
Strain the Mushrooms
Consuming magic mushrooms in any form is an unforgettable and exhilarating journey, providing new experiences. Your chosen method for ingestion will determine how quickly and intensely the psilocybin will enter your system; so experimentation is key in finding out which approach suits you best.
Tea is often the preferred method for taking mushroom supplements, as it’s less messy and easier on your digestive system. Furthermore, tea provides the optimal way to consume higher doses without being overwhelmed by taste.
An effective method for making tea from psilocybin-containing mushrooms is grinding them into a fine powder and steeping it in hot water, then using your favorite tea leaves and even adding other herbs for maximum flavor profiles. Reishi mushrooms typically possess an unusually bitter taste which can be offset with sweet flavors like vanilla or herbal teas.
When making tea, make sure that the mushroom mixture soak for at least an hour – the longer that mushrooms soak, the stronger your tea will taste! A large pot is necessary in this instance as otherwise liquid could overflow from its confines and overflow!
Make sure that as your tea steeps, the mushrooms don’t become overly bitter by stirring regularly – this will allow them to dissolve more evenly into the hot water and will allow you to witness this amazing extraction process happening before your eyes – as they transform cellular level transformation with each drop of hot water as our bodies translate them. Take time during this process to sit quietly with yourself and contemplate just what amazing results it brings about for our bodies.
Once your timer goes off, use a mesh sieve to strain out the mushrooms and tea leaves from their liquid, saving any extra to create a tincture (to do this, bring half gallon of water to a simmer and combine the extracted mushrooms with this water).
Add Sweetener
Some people consume raw magic mushrooms directly or add them to food; others opt to prepare their mushrooms by drying, which concentrates psychoactive compounds and intensifies their effects. Once dry, these dried mushrooms can then be consumed either directly or made into tea for easier consumption by those with digestive issues.
Making mushroom tea requires using high-quality ingredients and taking all necessary safety measures, but the process itself is relatively straightforward and an excellent way to incorporate more mushrooms into your daily regimen.
Lemon tek (also referred to as a “loon”) is an effective method for creating mushroom tea, in which finely ground mushrooms are covered in fresh lemon juice to increase surface area before steeping for 20 minutes before being drunk in one shot.
Another popular method for making mushroom tea is adding the mushrooms directly to coffee or other hot drinks, particularly if the purpose of your mushroom consumption is anxiety or depression relief. Caffeine combined with psilocybin can create an intense yet balanced experience.
Add mushroom extract powder to your morning cup of coffee for a bulletproof-style drink, full of antioxidants and healthy fats. When choosing this option, it is essential that the coffee be of high-quality with low acidity levels; otherwise, the acidic beans could impede with psilocybin’s effectiveness and cause nausea.
Many people opt to use chaga mushrooms when making mushroom tea, as their mild yet sweet taste lends them well to long brewing sessions without bitter notes arising. To add extra flair and enhance the experience, cinnamon sticks or maple syrup may also add depth of flavor. Some prefer taking their mushroom tea with milk to aid digestion.
Add Garnish
Integrating magic mushroom tea into meals is one way to maximize its effects and lessen potential adverse reactions. Psilocybin enters your bloodstream more rapidly, creating its effects more directly and decreasing risk for adverse reactions.
If you plan on pairing mushrooms with food, it is advised that they be finely chopped prior to consumption in order to increase their surface area and make it easier for your body to process them. Additionally, additional ingredients like ginger or honey may enhance your experience and make for an enhanced overall meal experience.
As magic mushrooms contain psychoactive properties, when cooking with them it is important to remember their psychoactive nature and require careful handling in order to avoid accidental overdosing. Therefore, for optimal results it is advisable to cook small batches at once so as to experiment with various recipes and gauge their effects accordingly.
As adding mushrooms to foods is an easy and flavorful way to increase their nutritional value and expand your palate, pairing it with strong flavors like citrus, herbs or spices can help mask its earthy taste and increase nutritional benefits.
Cooking with mushrooms is an enjoyable culinary adventure that can elevate every meal to something truly spectacular and special. But in order to do it correctly, it is crucial to have all of the necessary tools at hand, including a chopping board, sharp knife, saucepan and mixing bowls as well as accurate measuring scales and strainers for straining out debris from your mushrooms.
Once you’ve mastered the fundamentals of making magic mushroom tea, it is easy to incorporate this powerful herbal remedy into various other beverages. Use your mushroom tea as the basis for juices, shakes and smoothies or combine psilocybin mushroom powder with cacao to produce magic mushroom chocolate–an ancient beverage believed to date back as far as Aztec history!
